“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” -Rumi

“When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.” -Rumi

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. — “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963

You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

MySpace..oh the things you read.

5 November, 2007 /

My daughter, Alyx has a MySpace page. I keep a VERY close eye on her and what she puts up and who is on her list. She usually only goes on it to read emails from her pen pal.

Today she posted a bulletin. It’s the ‘First Reaction’ bulletin and what she does is reads the word and then puts in her first ‘thought’ after she reads it.

7. Steroids: —boots
I have no idea where this came from.
9. The President:mean
I would have went with ‘dumb’, but ‘mean’ works.
14. Bon Jovi: who?
How old I am feeling right now?
25. Donald Trump: old?
*giggle* I actually just put that in there because I thought that was funny!!

31. Pajamas:mom
And then this is where the laughter stops. How sad that is the first thought my daughter has when she hears the word ‘pajamas’.

*shrug* I’m known for my pajamas. It could have been worse, she could have had me listed under ‘alcohol’.
